Solomon told Martin Bookspan, the foundation’s music consultant, that foundation support could add a week to the ISO concert season. The orchestra in turn would devote the week to publicly rehearsing and performing music by American composers, giving preference to works that had not been performed before in the Indianapolis area. This meeting was the genesis of Indiana State University’s Contemporary Music Festival, which celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Solomon’s proposal led to another meeting, when foundation officials met in New York Over the last fifty years, the festival has featured numerous nationally and internationally with ISU Department of Music chairperson James Barnes, along with William Thomson and known performers, conductors, and composers. Seventeen of them now have the Pulitzer Prize Wilfred Bain, theory chair and dean, respectively, of the Indiana University School of Music. for Music, and four have received the Grawemeyer Award. Some of them were guests of the The foundation agreed to make a grant to the Indiana State Symphony Society Inc. to fund festival several years before they received these awards. Festival planners built into the program premiere performances of symphonic works by American composers to be presented in lectures, symposia, open rehearsals, and social events to foster interaction between the visiting Terre Haute and Bloomington. musicians and the public. An annual competition for orchestral compositions, part of the festival A nationwide advertisement called for scores that were screened by ISU music faculty since its inception, has provided many young composers with the invaluable experience of members Sanford Watts and Jon Polifrone, further evaluated by Barnes, and turned over to hearing their works rehearsed and performed by a professional orchestra.

    Tanglewood Baldwin & Tanglewood Celebrating A 61 -Year Musical Partnership | This season marks Baldwin's 61 st anniversary with Tanglewood. This very special association runs deep into trie Histories of both organizations. It began when Lucien Wulsin II, president of Baldwin during trie 1920s and 30s, met Serge Koussevitzky, trie renowned Russian conductor and music director of trie BSO. Koussevitzlcy was involved with Tanglewood from its inception and founded the Serge Koussfvitziky (above) Berkshire Music Center in 1940. Lucien Wulsin II (left) Wulsin, whose family had French- European roots, became good friends with Koussevitzky, who had lived in France in the early 1920s. It was this friendship, combined with noted Baldwin piano quality, that initiated the time-honored Baldwin-Tanglewood tradition. Since those early years, Baldwin has been the piano of choice for Tanglewood and many of its visionary leaders and alumni, including Charles Munch, Leonard Bernstein, Aaron Copland, Lukas Foss, Charles Dutoit and Seiji Ozawa. Today, the Baldwin tradition continues to grow with celebrated Tanglewood conductors Keith Lockhart and Robert Spano hecommg Baldwin Artists in recent years. This season, Baldwin pianos will share the stage at Tanglewood's orchestral and chamber music instrumental and vocal recitals, student performar the Festival of Contemporary Music, and performances by popular and jazz artists. As Official Piano, Baldwin is honored to play its part in the rich history and ongo\ng tradition of Tanglewood. Here's to ike next 61 years!

  • Program Notes by MARTIN BOOKSPAN
    LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER March 24, 1999 8-10 PM New York City Opera: Lizzie Borden Program Notes by MARTIN BOOKSPAN "Lizzie Borden"- Music by Jack Beeson; libretto by Kenward Elmslie; based on a scenario by Richard Plant. World premiere given at New York City Opera, March 25, 1965. "Lizzie Borden took an ax, and gave her father forty whacks." This childhood rhyme may have passed from currency in the waning years of the twentieth century, but the event it memorialized was very much alive in the waning years of the nineteenth. Along with the likes of Paul Bunyan and Johnny Appleseed, Lizzie Borden of Fall River, Massachusetts, assumed legendary status in the American popular imagination. In some respects the situation seems to be a remarkable parallel to one with which we are all familiar, the O.J. Simpson affair. These are the facts: on August 4, 1892, the citizens of Fall River were shaken by the brutal murder of two of its most solid citizens, Andrew Borden and his wife, Abbie Gray Borden. The finger of suspicion soon pointed to Andrew Borden's thirty-three-year-old daughter, Elizabeth, known as Lizzie, an apparently demure and reserved gentlewoman. She testified at an inquest, but thereafter refused comment, even declining to testify in her own defense at the trial that ensued. The evidence arrayed against her seemed confused and even conflicting, and many in the community could not bring themselves to believe that she was guilty. Weak testimony in her favor was offered by her sister, Emma; in the final summation, these were the words of her chief defense attorney: "To find her guilty, you must believe she is a fiend.

  • Tracing the Development of Extended Vocal Techniques in Twentieth-Century America
    CRUMP, MELANIE AUSTIN. D.M.A. When Words Are Not Enough: Tracing the Development of Extended Vocal Techniques in Twentieth-Century America. (2008) Directed by Mr. David Holley, 93 pp. Although multiple books and articles expound upon the musical culture and progress of American classical, popular and folk music in the United States, there are no publications that investigate the development of extended vocal techniques (EVTs) throughout twentieth-century American music. Scholarly interest in the contemporary music scene of the United States abounds, but few sources provide information on the exploitation of the human voice for its unique sonic capabilities. This document seeks to establish links and connections between musical trends, major artistic movements, and the global politics that shaped Western art music, with those composers utilizing EVTs in the United States, for the purpose of generating a clearer musicological picture of EVTs as a practice of twentieth-century vocal music. As demonstrated in the connecting of musicological dots found in primary and secondary historical documents, composer and performer studies, and musical scores, the study explores the history of extended vocal techniques and the culture in which they flourished. WHEN WORDS ARE NOT ENOUGH: TRACING THE DEVELOPMENT OF EXTENDED VOCAL TECHNIQUES IN TWENTIETH-CENTURY AMERICA by Melanie Austin Crump A Dissertation Submitted to the Faculty of The Graduate School at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Doctor of Musical Arts Greensboro 2008 Approved by ___________________________________ Committee Chair To Dr. Robert Wells, Mr. Randall Outland and my husband, Scott Watson Crump ii APPROVAL PAGE This dissertation has been approved by the following committee of the Faculty of The School of Music at The University of North Carolina at Greensboro.

CHarleston, WV, 1929) Crumb wrote these songs in 1947, the year he graduated high school and entered Mason College in his native Charleston, West Virginia. His now-wife of 70 years, Elizabeth May Brown, was the first to sing them and they are dedicated to her. They are wholly unlike the works that Crumb eventually became famous for—their sound is more early 20th century art song than the unique and otherworldly sound palette he would later develop. Crumb explained that in West Virginia at that time, Debussy was “almost an ultra-modern.” These songs, with delightful melodies and floating harmonies, show that young Crumb, even before finding his mature style, still had a gift for music that is understated yet emotionally powerful. Crumb suppressed the vast majority of his student compositions but he’s allowed performance of these songs. “Most of the music I wrote before the early sixties (when I finally found my own voice) now Chamber Music Society of Lincoln Center causes me intense discomfort,” he writes, “although I make an exception for a few songs which I composed when I was 17 or 18.… these little pieces stayed in my memory and when, some years ago, Jan DeGaetani expressed an interest in seeing them (with a view to possible performance if she liked them), I made a few slight revisions and even decided to have them published.

  • The Maverick: an Analytical Study of Carter Pann's
    THE MAVERICK: AN ANALYTICAL STUDY OF CARTER PANN’S SYMPHONY FOR WINDS: MY BROTHER’S BRAIN (2011) by RICKEY HAUOLI-DEPONTE BADUA (Under the Direction of John P. Lynch) ABSTRACT Intended as a resource for conductors interested in performing Carter Pann’s Symphony for Winds: My Brother’s Brain, this document explores the composer’s life and influences, shares his personal reflections about the compositional process, provides an overview of his compositional style, and presents a descriptive analysis of the work. Analytical discussion includes how Pann employs “extreme” and “outrageous” musical gestures within form, melody, harmony, texture, and orchestration. Summary and conclusions depict Pann as “the maverick” of composers writing for the wind ensemble medium, with the author’s intent to encourage more wind band conductors to program his music.
